Today is National Apple Pie Day, and looking at this picture I found on Pixabay, made me hungry for one. I haven't made one for awhile. It is one of my favourite pies.
I make mine with a bit of Stevia, lots of cinnamon, and no sugar. I have a frozen pie crust in the freezer, so maybe will pick up some apples today and make a pie. I usually freeze part of it, so that I don't eat it all at once.
Do you like to make apple pie?

I have never made a apple pie. I have made several pumpkin ones though.

@AnneEJ ....Good reason to use nutmeg and cinnamon.

I make my apple galette with real sugar and nutmeg, my mother made it that way.

@AnneEJ I have a bad reaction to Stevia like I do to all the alternative, I have tried.

@BelleStarr I have no problem with Stevia, refuse to use Splenda or other artificial ones.

I don't make pies, I never got the knack of making the crust properly, so I usually pick one up at the bakery when we have a craving for one. My favorite is strawberry rheubarb, although your picture of the apple pie looks awfully tempting right now!

I used to be very good at making pies, but am so out of practice, my crust doesn't usually turn out that well. So I often buy the frozen pie shells. I find that the apple pieces are too beg in the store-bought pies. I slice mine very thinly.

Do you prefer it with cheese or ice cream, or just plain?

Believe it or not... I laden half the pie with cinnamon because that's the way I like it... no one else does :( I have never tried Stevia, but it makes sense. We eat too much sugar and it you can cut back... even better!

That's always nice when someone else makes them for you.

I haven't made an apple pie in ages but our local market has some delicious ones with a crumb topping (which is my favorite). I just might have to indulge and celebrate this apple pie day

Those ones with the crumb topping are very good.
